Definitions

  • the exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to a zero-copy, lock-less, and non-blocking messaging scheme for multi-cell support on a single modem board using a multi-core processor. While the invention is particularly directed to the art of wireless telecommunications, and will be thus described with specific reference thereto, it will be appreciated that the invention may have usefulness in other fields and applications.
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
  • LTE improves wireless network efficiency and bandwidth, lowers costs and enhances service experience.
  • LTE makes use of new spectrum opportunities and offers better integration with other open standards.
  • LTE generally includes an LTE RAN (Radio Access Network) (also known as E-UTRAN) along with an EPS (Evolved Packet System, also called Evolved Packet Core).
  • LTE RAN Radio Access Network
  • EPS Evolved Packet System, also called Evolved Packet Core
  • Communication systems are generally split into two primary functions: data plane functions and control plane functions.
  • processors were used on the modem board: one to support the control plane functions (non-real time, e.g., Operations, Administration, and Management (or OA&M), and call processing management-related functionalities), and another to terminate and support the data plane functions (real time, e.g., LTE Layer 2 processing).
  • Both the control and data planes use different operating system (OS) instances, such as Linux for the control plane and a real-time OS such as vXWorks (made and sold by Wind River Systems of Alameda, Calif.) for the data plane core.
  • OS operating system
  • vXWorks made and sold by Wind River Systems of Alameda, Calif.
  • one modem board supports one sector or cell. So to support multi-cell (e.g., 3-cells or 6-cells) configurations, it would be necessary to provide as many modem boards as the number of cells.
  • a multi-core processor may be used in an LTE wireless base station on a modem board.
  • An operating system such as SMP Linux with a PREEMPT RT patch may run on one SMP partition containing all eight cores.
  • the control plane non-real time threads/processes
  • the data plane real time threads/processes
  • the use of the Linux protocol stack to send/receive TCP/UDP packets from the real time processes/threads such as the LTE L2 scheduler running on the data plane core, may result in unbounded latency spikes that may break down the processing of the LTE L2 scheduler. This is due to the fact that the Linux protocol stack is not designed to be lock-less, and since it is also used by the non real time processes/threads such as OAM, and CALLP running on the control plane core.
  • a lock taken by a non-real-time process or thread on one core may cause a latency spike for a real time thread or process waiting for that lock to be released on a different core (such as found on the data plane).
  • a lock-less, zero copy, non-blocking messaging scheme that does not use the Linux Protocol stack for the fast data path on the data plane core to meet the performance needs of a multi-core processor-based modem board that uses one partition. Without such a scheme the system may be subject to unbounded latency spikes that could break down the entire system, especially with respect to the processing of the LTE L2 scheduler.
  • a computer-implemented method for lock-less, zero data copy messaging in a multi-core processor includes, for each of a plurality of processing cores, acquiring a kernel to user-space (K-U) mapped buffer and corresponding buffer descriptor, inserting a data packet into the buffer; and inserting the buffer descriptor into a circular buffer.
  • K-U kernel to user-space
  • an apparatus for providing lock-less, zero copy access to buffers between user-space processes and kernel space processes includes a modem board, and a multi-core processor having a plurality of processor cores attached to the modem board.
  • the modem board includes kernel space, user space, and a circular buffer for each processor core adapted to store kernel space to user space (K-U) mapped buffer descriptors.
  • a non-transitory computer-usable data carrier stores instructions which cause a computer to, for each of a plurality of processing cores, acquire a circular buffer for storing buffer descriptors.
  • the buffer descriptors stored in the circular buffer contain information about buffers that are kernel space to user space (K-U) mapped.
  • the instructions also cause the computer to perform the following using one or more kernel space threads in conjunction with one or more hardware components: receive a data packet at an ethernet interface, acquire a K-U mapped buffer and corresponding pointer, insert the received data packet into the K-U mapped buffer, en-queue a frame descriptor comprising of the K-U mapped buffer pointer containing the data packet into a frame queue, and after the data packet arrives at the front of the frame queue, generate an interrupt signal invoking a process that creates a buffer descriptor from the frame descriptor. The buffer descriptor associated with the data packet is then inserted into the specified circular buffer as per a frame queue to circular buffer mapping.

  • FIG. 6 represents a high-level description of he process flow with respect to an outgoing (egress) data packet.
  • FIG. 1 provides a view of a system into which the presently described embodiments may be incorporated.
  • an exemplary platform architecture 100 is shown. This architecture is generally used on a modem board, but it is to be understood that it may be used in other applications. In this embodiment one partition is defined with all eight cores in it. It is to be appreciated, however, that the multi-core processor 100 may have any number of cores. With this embodiment, it is thus possible to use a single symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) operating system (OS) instance 102 that runs on all of the cores (e.g., eight cores). Since the control and data planes are under one OS instance, care is generally needed to ensure that a problem with the data plane will not bring down the control plane as well.
  • SMP symmetric multiprocessing
  • OS operating system
  • the multi-core processor 100 serves three cells (shown as 104 , 106 , and 108 in the figure). Each cell requires an uplink (UL) scheduler (shown as 110 , 112 , and 114 in the figure) and a downlink (DL) scheduler (shown as 116 , 118 , and 120 in FIG. 1 ).
  • UL uplink
  • DL downlink
  • Radio Link Control RLC
  • RLC/MAC Radio Link Control and Medium Access Control
  • BSC base station controller
  • RLC/MAC block 122 which is the basic transport unit on the air interface that is used between the mobile and the network.
  • the RLC/MAC block 122 is used to carry data and RLC/MAC signaling.
  • the multi-core processor 100 also provides Operations, Administration, and Management (OA&M) 124 and a CALLLP module 126 that provides non real time call management related services.
  • OA&M Operations, Administration, and Management
  • CALLLP CALLLP module 126
  • the multi-core processor 100 includes a core abstraction layer (CAL) 128 , which hides the core specific details from the Layer 2 (L2) application software.
  • Layer 2 is the Data Link Layer of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking.
  • the Data Link Layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between adjacent network nodes in a wide area network or between nodes on the same local area network segment.
  • the Data Link Layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and might provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the Physical Layer. Examples of data link protocols are Ethernet for local area networks (multi-node), the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), HDLC and ADCCP for point-to-point (dual-node) connections.
  • L2 generally refers to the L2 scheduler processing that is needed for the LTE air interface, which has very tight real time requirements.
  • an OS such as SMP Linux with PREEMPT_RT patch may be used.
  • An open source OS such as SMP Linux with Preempt_RT is chosen over a hard core real time OS such as vxWorks since vxWorks has very high licensing fees for its usage.
  • the system is preferably implemented in a manner that employs core reservation and core affinity constructs to achieve an AMP-like system behavior. This is also desirable to get the best performance out of SMP Linux with PREEMPT_RT OS, for example.
  • Use of lockless zero copy services, such as buffer management, and messaging services may also help address any latency issues that may be posed by the use of SMP Linux with PREEMPT_RT OS.
  • the core abstraction layer ( 128 ) as shown in FIG. 1 is to provide high-level applications, such as L2 processing, with various services that utilize the full capabilities of the multi-core platform.
  • the core abstraction layer is thus designed to achieve several goals. First, it should support a BED (Backplane Ethernet Driver) DPAA-Based Interface, while hiding DPAA and multi-core specific implementation from higher-level application software (i.e., L2 software). Second, it should utilize the P4080's DPAA hardware components to provide an accelerated data path for user-plane data in both the ingress and egress directions. Third, it should provide as much flexibility as possible so to easily adapt to configuration changes (i.e., without requiring code changes).
  • An example of a CAL configuration is a DPAA resources configuration for buffer pools, ingress frame queues, and egress frame queues.
  • an implementation of the present invention uses all of the processor cores in one partition. This will require the use of only one OS instance, and no need to use a hypervisor. Since it may be difficult for simple Linux to meet all of the hard real-time processing needs, an OS such as SMP Linux with PREEMPT_RT patch is preferred. An open source OS is also used to reduce the cost. The system further incorporates core affinity and CPU reservation capabilities of SMP Linux to define an AMP like system behavior within the SMP configuration, which permits 6-cell or even 9-cell configurations.
  • this invention defines a lock-less messaging scheme for a real time process (LTE L2 scheduler) running on data plane cores, to send/receive TCP/UDP IP packets while avoiding the use of the protocol stack.
  • the non-real time process such as OA&M running on control plane core will continue to use the Linux protocol stack for its normal operation.
  • Kernel space is strictly reserved for running the kernel, kernel extensions, and most device drivers.
  • user space is the memory area where all user mode applications work and this memory can be swapped out when necessary.
  • a core abstraction layer (CAL) 201 includes various modules in user space, including, but not limited to: a core abstraction layer initialization (CALInit) module 202 that loads the LTE network configuration and any static PCD rules to the frame managers (FMAN) 230 and 232 and sets up the CAL framework based on a set of configuration files, a core abstraction layer buffer (CALBuf) module 204 , a core abstraction layer messaging (CALMsg) module 206 that provides messaging services to L2 software to send and receive user-plane data to or from another board (i.e., eCCM) without the use of the Linux protocol stack, a core abstraction layer parsing, classifying and distributing (CALPcdFmc) module 208 that provides Parsing, Classification and Distribution (PDC) rules and configurations to be used by each FMAN ( 230 , 232 ) for routing ingress frames to appropriate cores, and a core abstraction layer DPAA trace (CALDpaaTrace) module 210 that provides trac

  • User plane data e.g., eth0
  • a fourth service is querying for receiver and transmitter port statistical data.

  • the FQs that make it to the front of the queue, and are ready for processing are put into the DQRR register by the QMAN.
  • the DQRR register has a depth of 15 entries. As each entry (which is a frame queue descriptor that contains info about the FQ, such as the pointer to the packet buffer, an associated callback function, etc), is serviced by the registered callback function 330 in the Interrupt service routine (ISR), the QMAN 308 automatically en-queues the next FQ descriptor onto the DQRR.

  • the CALMSG 326 provides a service to the user application DL Scheduler 324 to register itself with CALMSG 326 .
  • the callback function 330 determines which ring ID 320 this particular frame queue descriptor belongs to, and creates a buffer descriptor by copying the kernel-user space mapped buffer pointer (along with any book-keeping info) and en-queuing the buffer descriptor on to the appropriate kernel-user space mapped ring of buffer descriptors 320 for later processing by the associated user space DL scheduler thread 324 on a particular data plane core Y 312 .
  • the DL Scheduler process 324 runs in an endless “Run to Completion” mode in user space.
  • the real time thread wakes up every Delta T time, and invokes the CALMSG 326 API to inquire, if there are packets en-queued for its consumption on the ring of buffer descriptors 320 . If there are, the DL Scheduler 326 processes (or consumes) the packets on the ring 320 . Since the received packet has not gone through the standard protocol stack, it contains the entire packet header (TCP/UDP/IP/Ethernet). The DL Scheduler 324 ignores the packet header, and operates on the packet payload. When done, it releases the buffer using the CALBUF 204 APIs.
  • the DL scheduler thread 324 goes back to sleep. Since there is only one producer (CAL DPADriver 314 ), and one consumer (a specific DL Scheduler thread 324 ) for each ring of buffer descriptors 320 , this scheme may be implemented with atomic operations that do not require any software locks.
  • a further advantage is achieved by using buffers mapped from kernel to user space together with a ring of buffer descriptors such as the ring of buffer descriptors 320 .
  • the use of kernel to user-space mapped buffers obviates any need for data copy because the packet will traverse from the kernel-space device drivers to its eventual destination in user space.
  • control plane traffic and data plane traffic are isolated from each other and are directed to separate Ethernet interfaces.
  • a FMAN 302 may support multiple Ethernet interfaces.
  • the Linux protocol stack is bound to and runs on the control plane core X 332 .
  • the CAL PCD module sets up static PCD rules that allows the FMAN 302 to en-queue all packets 304 arriving on the control plane ethernet interface to a Frame Queue (FQ) 334 that will be handled by the FSL DPA driver 336 that runs in Kernel space. This driver 336 hands over the packets to the Linux protocol stack 338 .
  • a data copy is also involved as the packet crosses the kernel space to user space boundary. This is shown on the left side of FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 4 A high-level view of the process flow with respect to an incoming data packet for a data plane core is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • the method of FIG. 4 may be implemented by the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • a DL Scheduler 320 registers itself with the CALMSG 326 .
  • the system also creates a ring of buffer descriptors 320 that are kernel-to-user-space (K-U) mapped to allow both the kernel space entity (such as the CALDPAADriver 314 ), and the user space entity (such as the CALMSG 326 ) to access the ring.
  • K-U kernel-to-user-space
  • This step may be performed by the CALMSG 326 in conjunction with the CALDPAADriver module 314 for each configured cell on the modem board.
  • the CALDPAADriver 314 will have a mapping between the ingress FQ 306 to a specific ring of buffer descriptors 320 .
  • the ring of buffer descriptors has a read pointer and a write pointer.
  • the ring of buffer descriptors 320 is implemented in a lock-less fashion using atomic operation.
  • the dedicated data plane Ethernet interface receives a data packet 304 .
  • the FMAN 302 acquires a kernel-to-user spaced mapped buffer/token from the BMAN ( FIG. 2 , 226 ).
  • the FMAN 302 inserts the received data packet 304 into the acquired buffer.
  • step 450 per the dynamic PCD rules setup by the CAL module (CALMSG 206 ) during cell initialization (providing a mapping between an IP address and an ingress FQ 306 ), the FMAN 302 , with help from QMAN 308 , en-queues the packet onto the appropriate FQ 306 .
  • the system via a P4080 multi-core processor, generates an interrupt for the software portal 316 for Core Y 312 (the data plane core).
  • the callback function that is registered for the specified FQ (in this case the uplaneDispatcher 330 ) will run as the ISR routine in kernel space to process the packet.
  • the callback function creates a buffer descriptor from the information contained in the Frame Queue Descriptor (FD) of the DQRR entry being processed.
  • the buffer pointer from the FD is copied into the buffer descriptor, along with some additional book-keeping info.
  • the CALDPAA driver 314 en-queues the generated buffer descriptor from step 460 into the ring of buffer descriptors 320 associated with core Y 312 .
  • Steps 410 through 470 are performed by hardware (FMAN, and QMAN) in conjunction with the kernel thread of CALDPAADriver 314 (e.g., the uplaneDispatcher 330 ).
  • steps 480 through 495 are performed in a process or thread independent from the process(es) or thread(s) that performed steps 410 to 470 .
  • steps 480 - 495 are performed by user space threads such as the DL Scheduler 324 on the data plane core Y 312 .
  • the DL Scheduler 324 runs in end-less run to completion mode, and wakes up at a TTI (Time-To-Interrupt) interval.
  • the DL Scheduler 324 invokes a CALMSG API 326 to query whether there are any unprocessed packets on the ring of buffer descriptors 320 for consumption. If there are no unprocessed data packets on the ring of buffer descriptors 320 , the DL SCHEDULER 324 will receive a non-blocking response from CALMSG module 326 which indicates no unprocessed packets. The DL Scheduler thread 324 then sleeps until the next TTI.
  • step 485 if the DL Scheduler 324 determines that there are unprocessed data packets, then the method proceeds to step 490 , else the method proceeds to 495 .
  • the DL Scheduler 324 processes the next data packet on the ring of buffer descriptors 320 .
  • the next packet is indicated by the read pointer of the ring.
  • the DL Scheduler 324 releases the K-U mapped buffer using the CALBUF 204 APIs.
  • the data packet to be processed contains both of one or more headers and a payload.
  • the DL Scheduler 324 ignores the header and operates on the payload.
  • the header is used to route the packet to its destination, which is achieved in the exemplary embodiment without the use of a protocol stack.
  • the exemplary embodiment supports three cells (scalable up to six cells). Each cell will have its own DL Scheduler (DL SCHEDULER thread 324 ) that is bound to and run on its own dedicated data plane core. Accordingly, in the exemplary embodiment, there is a minimum of three DL SCHEDULER ( FIGS. 1 , 116 , 118 , and 120 ) threads running on three different data plane cores. Similarly each cell needs a UL L2 scheduler (UL SCHEDULER). Thus, there are three UL SCHEDULER threads ( FIGS. 1 , 110 , 112 , and 114 ) running on three different data plane cores.
  • the dynamic PDC rules i.e., the mapping of IP addresses to ingress FQs
  • the CALMSG module 326 may also perform bookkeeping functions, such as mapping ingress FQs to ring of buffer descriptors IDs.
  • the PCD rules enable the FMAN to examine the IP address of each packet, and determine in which FQ to en-queue the packet. Additional book-keeping information (such as the ingress FQ 306 to ring of buffer descriptors 320 ID mapping) allows the uplaneDispatcher kernel thread 330 to decide in which ring of buffer descriptors 320 it should put a given buffer descriptor associated with an incoming data packet.
  • a lock-less, and zero copy messaging scheme is achieved that allows the ingress packets to reach a DL scheduler thread 324 running on the data plane core Y 312 without the use of a conventional protocol stack.
  • FIG. 5 a high-level overview of an exemplary Backplane Ethernet Driver (BED) DPA-based system 500 adapted to provide for egress data flow of data packets is shown.
  • the exemplary embodiment 500 provides a solution that does not use the Linux protocol stack to transmit the egress data plane traffic.
  • the left side of FIG. 5 illustrates the path taken by packets sent from the control plane core X 532 using a traditional protocol stack 538 .
  • the non real time user space application such as OAM&M 124 running on control plane core x 532 sends TCP/UDP IP packets using the protocol stack 538 .
  • the protocol stack 538 forwards the packet to the FSL DPA driver 536 in kernel space.
  • the process of forwarding the packet from the core x 532 in user space to the FSL DPA driver 536 in kernel space requires a data copy.
  • the FSL DPA driver 536 en-queues the packet on a FQ 534 that is eventually serviced by FMAN 506 with help from QMAN 508 , and the packet is transmitted on the Ethernet interface.
  • the right hand side of the diagram illustrates the packet traversal for packets originating at the data plane core Y 512 where the LTE L2 UL Scheduler 502 is running without the use of the protocol stack 538 .
  • the egress data flow also uses a lock-less zero copy messaging scheme that does not incur un-bounded latency spikes.
  • FIG. 6 A high-level view of the process flow with respect to an outgoing data packet (i.e., egress data flow for the data plane core) is illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • the method of FIG. 6 may be implemented by the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 5 .
  • the UL scheduler 502 acquires kernel to user space mapped buffers from the CALBUF 522 .
  • the UL scheduler 502 when the UL scheduler 502 is ready to transmit a TCP/UDP IP packet, the UL scheduler 502 prepares the entire packet (with header, and payload), and then invokes the CALMSG API 522 .
  • the CALMSG 522 with help from the CALDPAADriver 524 , en-queues the prepared packet onto the appropriate egress FQ 504 of the channel CHB associated with the data plane ethernet interface.
  • This enqueing is performed without the use of the protocol stack and instead relies on a lock-less, zero messaging scheme to avoid unbounded latency spikes.
  • the QMAN 508 determines a status of whether the en-queue operation was successful or not, and this response is sent all the way back to the user application UL Scheduler 502 if it so desires to receive the status.
  • the FMAN 506 processes all packets from the various FQ 504 . Even though there is a context switch involved whenever the packet is traversing the user-space to kernel space boundary, there is no data copy involved. Thus, the processing of the packets by the FMAN 506 is performed in a hardware efficient manner so that each individual core has negligible or no performance penalty.
  • Each UL Scheduler 302 has a dedicated FQ 504 on the target channel (CH B 526 ) to transmit the packets onto the Ethernet interface.
  • the FMAN 506 releases the buffer back to BMAN ( FIG. 2 , 226 ).
  • program storage devices for example, digital data storage media, which are machine or computer readable and encode machine-executable or computer-executable programs of instructions, wherein said instructions perform some or all of the steps of said above-described methods.
  • the program storage devices may be, for example, digital memories, magnetic storage media such as a magnetic disks and magnetic tapes, hard drives, or optically readable digital data storage media.
  • the embodiments are also intended to cover computers programmed to perform said steps of the above-described methods.
